And I'm Still Alive

Yeah, if you've played Portal you're cursing me about now. That song will be in your head all night. You're welcome. Anyway, I'm not just posting to torture you. I'm actually on to say hello, and to wish all of you a happy belated Easter or Passover or Non-Denominational Spring Holiday! Don't you love P.C.?

This week, Chuck over at Terribleminds has a very interesting challenge going on, though I'm not 100% certain I'll be doing it this week. Lots going on, including being head first in a writing jag (yay, writing jags!). Not to mention, guess whose daughter will be waking her at 4 am on Friday to watch a little wedding going on in England? Ah, well, I suppose I did the same thing to my poor mom when I was my little girl's age, but for Charles and Diana. It'll be a strange circle around to an odd closure...sort of...maybe. We'll see.

Speaking of Portal (you're still singing it, aren't you?), Portal 2 is out. I'm actually looking forward to it, especially since I'm a big supporter of little-things-that-could. Portal was only meant to be a little "crash course" type of game, stuck to a bigger game, in order to show off the very cool graphics and abilities that the creators had discovered/made. And look what happened. A sleeper hit! I would say cult classic, but it's pretty much permeated popular culture, so not so much cult but more classic. Hopefully I'll be out of the pool of 65k words (that's my goal) soon so I can play the game, before everyone and their mothers and aunts leak out spoilers. Yeah, it could take me a while to surface. Lucky for my kids and hubby I know how to set alarms, so no one starves and mini-us'es are (surprisingly) educated by yours truly.

Um, yeah, so that's it. Just a little tag to say hi, and see how everyone is doing. Maybe I'll actually try that Three Sentence Challenge over at Terribleminds. It would indeed be a challenge for someone who doesn't just talk way too much, but writes too many words, as well. Oh, you should go over and check it out. Brilliant, I tell you. These people are brilliant.
